Never get the physical jokes of punching, acting like you want to fight, shaking hands too long, etc... Allways think they want to confuse me intentionally and end up feeling insulted. On the other hand: I once told my mother I wanted euthanesia for my birthday. I thought it was a funny joke, but sh...

Don't know how he does it, but his movies really get inside your brain and mess it all up. Seen 'Requiem for a Dream' on the big screen once: I was sick for 2 days and...

I use rilatine MR. Has an even spread for 8 to 12 hours, so you only have to take one pill a day and it has a smoother effect (no peaks or worn-out feelings between doses). It helps to focus on boring tasks, but nothing more. Certainly doesn't 'cure' anything, just makes life a bit easyer. My first ...

Hi, I hope this doesn't sound pedantic, specially for a first post, but after browsing this topic I have the feeling most of you people have the wrong idea of NLD. To put it short, NLD doesn't exist anymore. In order to avoid confusion among neurologists and psychiatrists around the world, there is ...
